Savings and investment options for workplace pensions

Options to help your employees to save or invest

  • Accounts to help your employees save or invest alongside their workplace pension
  • Helping them save for short-term and long-term targets
  • Options to suit all priorities – from short-term saving to long-term investment

The convenience of saving, investment and retirement planning under one roof

Many of your employees will agree it can be hard to keep track of their savings, investments and pensions on multiple platforms, from multiple providers. 

Our savings and investment options are available on the same platform as some of our workplace pension schemes, making them easier for your employees to manage. You can directly integrate all our accounts with most payroll software, and employees have the opportunity to make further contributions from their bank account.

You’ll be making it easy for them to complete the circle of their savings needs – from a holiday in a few months’ time to a retirement that could be many years away. And they can do this with a name they know and can trust: Aviva.

Cash ISA

Whatever your employees might be saving for, it makes sense to do it tax-efficiently. Our Cash ISA is a low-risk way to save, offering a variable rate of interest on the invested amount over the life of the ISA. It can be a great way for your employees to save for short- to medium-term goals.

Stocks and Shares ISA

Our Stocks and Shares ISA is a tax-efficient way to invest in any of our investment funds. It gives employees the option to choose from over 900 funds as well as shares and investment trusts. This ISA can help your employees to invest for their medium- to long-term goals.

Investment account

Our General Investment Accounts can help your employees continue investing beyond the ISA limit. Giving them the freedom to invest in over 900 different funds, it may also be useful for employees who have several investments and want to bring them together into one place.

ISAs and investment accounts: what to consider

For the 2025/2026 tax year, the annual ISA allowance is £20,000. This is the maximum a person can pay in across any ISAs they hold – including cash ISAs, stocks and shares ISAs, innovative finance ISAs, and Lifetime ISAs.

For the Cash ISA, inflation will reduce the buying power of employees’ money, particularly if the interest rate is lower than the rate of inflation. For the Stocks and Shares ISA and the Investment Account, the value of investments can go down as well as up. Employees may get back less than they pay in.

Tax benefits can change and depend on an individual's circumstances.

Frequently asked questions

How can I make these savings and investment options available to my employees?

When you set up your Aviva Workplace Pension scheme you’ll be asked whether you’d like these options to be offered to your members. 

If you already have a workplace pension scheme set up with us, get in touch to arrange access for your members.

What would employees do to take out these products?

Once they’ve registered for an online account, they can simply log in and complete a short application form.  Any members who aren’t able to do this can request a paper application. If they want to make payments through their salary, they can arrange this directly with your own HR or payroll team. 

How do the costs work?

The terms you agree on setting up your scheme will also be designed to include or exclude the individual savings and investment options we’ve mentioned. Everything will be clearly set out. 

I’ve already set up my Aviva Workplace Pension scheme. Can I add these options to it?

Yes. To do this you just contact your usual Aviva representative, or send us a message . Your terms will be updated at the time – whether there’s any additional cost will depend on the size of your scheme and the way it’s been set up. This is also the process if you choose to set up your scheme without these options and want to add them later.

I’ve got more questions. Who should I contact?

Just get in touch with your usual Aviva contact, or send us a message .
